Give pot a chance: Bill Clinton: The 41st president was dogged on the 1992 campaign trail with questions about whether he ever used drugs. He was cornered on one TV program, and delivered a response that late night comics would love for years to come: “When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn’t like it. I didn’t inhale and never tried it again.”

Then on June 29, 2014, on Meet the Press, Clinton said states should continue experimenting with marijuana legalization.

"This really is a time when there should be laboratories of democracy because nobody really knows where this is going," he said.
